We know that the
director of national intelligence (
DNI) is making an assessment into how much damage was done by the former Republican President when he stole hundreds of pages of classified documents and stored them in his home at Mar-a-Lago.
We know Trump has had classified documents for 20 months.
We know there is no control over the comings and goings at Mar-a-Lago except for Trump.
We know there was no control over the access to these documents other than Trump. We know that is a completely unreliable control.
We know Trump has never provided a reason as to why he stole the documents. This is the elephant in the room as the DOJ and the DNI try to assess the damage wrought by the former Republican President. Why did he take them? No one has a clue. The lack of an explanation -- even a lie -- is intriguing.
That said, there is a possible explanation.
We know Vladimir Putin helped Trump become our President in 2016.
"The [Republican] Senate Intelligence Committee reaffirmed its support for the U.S. intelligence community’s conclusion that the Russian government interfered in the 2016 presidential election with the goal of putting Donald Trump in the Oval Office."

Has a Russian agent already been allowed to see and record relevant intelligence from the documents?
Is this why the DNI is assessing the damage done by Trump?
